Our Humble Beginnings
To Big Adventures!
I created this page in the winter of 2024. I then had second thoughts and deleted this page. While out in the field providing our junk hauling services and talking with customers, they mentioned this page on my website and how they had really liked it! So I will say that I am republishing this page by popular customer demand (or liking!!)
I hope this page will allow you to experience the human side of our business and allow you a look at our purely humble beginning!
Our Story
Winter time is an especially slow time for hauling and junk removal companies! One of my hobbies and a must do requirement for a business owner is to update the website! So I am going to take a step back in the past and show you where we started and how much we have grown! While we have put in many hours of hard work, sweat, and maybe even some tears, our success has been only because of our faithful, long standing customers that have supported our local, independently owned and operated - small, but mighty, and yes, women owned and operated company!
I give a sincere thanks and a hug to all of you for helping us make it this far!
Our Journey Begins
Michelle and I met in around the year of 2010, both struggling to keep up with the demands of raising big families. Both of us had come from similar back grounds, experiencing a lot of the same hard knocks life had thrown our way. We were like twins in many ways with our likes, our hopes, our dreams, and yes... ideas of business adventures, both of us having worked in very similar industries. With both of us working dead end minimum wage jobs with very minimal hours, we joined together to hustle up scrap metal and took our findings to the local scrap yards, collecting a few dollars each day for our next family meal, pizza night or a weekend outing with the kids! With an old rusty, but trusty, pickup truck we hit the streets gathering and collecting scrap metal from alleyways, neighborhood trash days, apartment complex dumpsters and bulk pickup areas, and local area businesses.
While we were out collecting we were able to meet many of the neighborhood residents in the areas in which we scrapped. We were then asked and hired to do odd jobs for area homeowners, after all, everyone needs someone from time to time with a pickup truck!
One of our local area businesses loved our go-getter attitude and invited us to come daily and carry out the daily trash. One of the perks we received by going to this business was an unlimited supply of aluminum cans we were able to obtain on a daily basis as they gave out free pop to all of their customers all day long!
This business had a steady stream of regular, daily clientele. Everyone loved our work ethic and humble, helpful attitude, and of course the fact that we had a pickup truck! Customers of this local business began asking the store manager about us when they had a need for an odd job, or needed someone that had a pickup truck. We began accepting odd jobs as the customers needed us. News spread from customer to customer on how great a team we were and how we were able to help them with their project!
One morning, the business manager pulled us to the side to tell us of how in need and valuable our services were and that we should try to market ourselves and advertise our services. Market ourselves? I had no idea of how to go about doing this. She suggested placing an add on Craigslist, I went straight home and did just that!
Placing an ad was no easy feat. I am a hands on labor person. I am not a skilled computer professional! The first task that I had to overcome was a name. HMM.....We started out as " 2 Women With A Pickup Truck ". The name said who we were, what we had to work with, and was a perfect fit for doing odd jobs. As our hustle expanded into a full blown business with a specialty, we started adding trailers to the scene. In order to let potential customers know that we were able to take on larger scale jobs with a trailer, we added " And Trailer Too " to our name. Eventually we became an LLC and we became listed as " 2 Women With A Pickup Truck And Trailer Too LLC". Unfortunately, it is a super long name created totally by accident, but it stuck like glue and our customers loved it. So here we are!
Our Growth
How it began
We began with a pickup truck and a load of scrap metal! While collecting scrap metal may sound like an easy hustle, trust me, it is not. It is a whole learning process entirely. If you want to get the best dollar amount for your load, you must break down, sort and process your pieces. You could write a whole book on the scrap metal process and break down!
Our First Truck
This is our first truck and trailer combination that started us on our new venture! With our new and improved equipment we were able to tackle a variety of larger jobs, from trash hauling, junk removal, and cleaning out entire homes! Our services became invaluable to those in need of junk removal services. This is where 2 Women With A Pickup Truck And Trailer Too LLC began!
Our First Trailer
When it comes to hauling and junk removal, having the right equipment can make a big difference. For one entrepreneur, a five by eight trailer proved to be the key to unlocking a whole new level of business. What started as a way to streamline trips to the dump quickly grew into a full fledged hauling and junk removal business. With the right tools and a can-do attitude, anything is possible!
New truck? Not!!
Thought we got a new truck? Not! For many years we relied on this old Ford truck, which was always well maintained and preformed exceptionally. Although we eventually upgraded to a newer model, we could not bear to part with it. As a result, we decided to give it a fresh coat of paint to improve its appearance for our business. We were able to get a couple more years out of it before eventually upgrading! As far as trailers, you will see our best purchase yet! The new dump trailer you see in this picture making trash hauling jobs and trash clean up a breeze! We still use this trailer to this day, although it too has a new look!
New truck? Yes!!
Old rusty but trusty finally kicked the bucket! Our same trailer finally gets a makeover to match a newer truck. As of 2024 we still have this truck and attached trailer! This truck is currently semi-retired and rests with an additional trailer to store recyclables for transport once we have a full load. This truck is still ready to go, especially when we need an extra truck for a large job such as a property cleanout!
